Satin is done!
\nWell, the knitting is. Unfortunately, the weather has been too crappy to block her yet. I prefer a full wet block, but if the weather doesn’t improve, I’ll just do a steam block. Unfortunately our house is too small to lay anything out for any length of time. Usually I leave things to block on our bed, or on the floor, but if it takes too long to dry, it ain’t pleasant sleeping with the smell of wet wool.
\nSo I had to decide what comes next. Em chose the “Pink Pullover” from Vogue Teen Knits<\/a> around a year ago, and I have the yarn, so I decided on that.

\nIt’s made in Lion Brand “Imagine”, which is 20% mohair and 80% acrylic, but Em loves<\/i> it. It’s a bit sheddy, but apart from that, it ain’t all bad to knit with. Especially seeing as I only started it yesterday, and this morning I had this.

\nIt’s also not as scratchy as I thought it’d be. I am finding that I’m dropping stitches though. I was expecting crappy yarn something like the true crap we get here in Australia! It ain’t Lorna’s, but it’s pink and fuzzy, and that’s all Em cares about \ud83d\ude42
\nIt is the recommended yarn, and I surprised myself by getting gauge. We are making a slight adjustment to the pattern – I’m not keen on the idea of putting metal studs in my knits, so I’m going to do a white intarsia star on the front instead.
\nTwinkie has this thing about following me around when I’m sweeping up her dinner spills. (She’s a somewhat enthusiastic eater – she likes to try to get into the bowl in her excitement) Took a while to figure out what she was doing, until we found that she likes the broom.

\nPlease ignore the thick ankles and unwaxed legs! I told you I had tree trunk ankles \ud83d\ude09
\nEm also got new bunny slippers. Twinkie likes those, too.

\nAnd speaking of the Empress, she lost a tooth.

\nShe has a friend coming to sleep over tonight, so I don’t think any of us will get much sleep!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
